Kotlin and Spring Boot, a Match Made in Heaven

on YouTube ↗44m

" summary

Live coding shows a Spring Boot app ported to Kotlin by swapping MVC for reactive MongoDB + WebFlux, replacing @Controller/@Bean annotations with explicit route and bean DSL handlers, and migrating repositories to Flux/Mono types; demos break then recover but the app runs. Introduces Kofu and Spring Foo as an application DSL alternative that compiles clearer wiring and helps GraalVM native images, but flags the work as experimental and not yet recommended for critical production.
